Quotable Quote:
““I’m not Charlie Chaplin and will never, ever claim to be, but when I become the Tramp, I can feel the hair stand up on the back of my neck. I’ve had sobbing people at the stage door tell me how much the evening changed their lives. The idea that this musical can channel Chaplin’s spirit for someone and move them is truly profound.”—McClure in a interview with Broadway.com, 9/13/12.
